Today's blog is...
ALL ABOUT BALLET!
Okay, now that I have your attention, I might as well get to the POINTE. Well, you see, I am going to be starting lessons again, and I am very, very, VERY excited! I was upset last year with having to miss a year of ballet. BUT, it taught me a very important lesson - It showed me how much I really liked ballet, and how I should stick with it. 
Plus, it's given me a chance to study and prepare for ballet. I have been doing stretches for ballet, and focusing on it so much. I cannot WAIT to start again! I think I might be taking at a place similar to my old ballet studio. (A fine arts place, I think...!?) 
Well, I just wanted to pass around the good news!!!!!!
GOD BLESS,

Hi Rachel!
That's great that you found a ballet school!! Are you still in class with girls your age even though you took a year off??
Oh, and I also wanted to recommend a great book to you. It's called "Classical Ballet Techniques" by Gretchen Ward Warren, if you don't already have it. It is really cool!! It shows you in pictures the correct and incorrect ways to do every step in ballet you can think of! It's really great. It also shows you what kind of feet you have and if they're ok for dancing pointe. I was relieved to find out that even though I don't have a great arch, I have a strong foot and that's still good.
Anyway, it's a great book.
Also, have you ever done italian fouettes? Some people call them russian fouettes. They're really fun!!
Have you ever done fouette turns?
I love all kinds of fouettes!LOL

I just went to your site and saw that you reccommended that book so you already have read it, I guess! Anyway, it's a great book, isn't it?? What kind of foot do you have? Overly arched, arched (good foot), flat but strong foot, or an "unacceptable foot"? (I'm kinda into feet...can you tell?)

I dance too. I totally know how you feel about the whole thing and not being able to be dancing. *sigh* It's hard.
I'm waiting for my teacher to call and tell me if ballet is this Thrusday or not. O.O
I dance for God.
And I'm 13! ^_^
